Multiplayer Online Battle Arena or MOBA for short have been around since the time of the time of Sega Genesis, however, this particular genre of video games didn't really kick off until Blizzard, the video game company came out with a bunch of tools called StarEdit for their famous strategy game StarCraft. This allowed the gaming community to come up with a number of custom maps, among which maps like Aeon of Strife ended up becoming really popular and setting the foundation for fꦉuture MO♎BA games.

Unlike other casual games, a lot of strategies are involved in if you're trying to get good at the game and win. Those that are already good at the game are called pros some of whom even have thousands of hours of gameplay, giving them the experience required to effectively play the game. This is why we set out to gather some of the things that have helped pros over the years. So, whether you are a veteran or just starting out in League of Legends, our list of 30 things that you need to know as a League of Legends player will definitely help you out.

30 Learn To Farm Creep Score ❀ 𒊎

What is creep score? Well, it basically means how much have you farmed during the entire game. With every minion slain, you get a particular amount of gold, for example, a melee minion grants 21 gold and 59 exp s𝓀o make sure to never miss a cannon minion as it is worth 60 gold. Usually, a pro player farms 10 CS per minute which👍 means that in around 10 minutes you should be at 100 CS. If you want to improve and go pro with it, start by calculating on how much you miss and how much you hit for, you should practice farming in custom games to improve at it. Pick a champion which you are comfortable with to start practicing creep scoring with, you will soon know how to attack and where you need to improve.

29 ౠ Have Map Awareness 💜

Try to make a habit of looking at your mini-map every few seconds, it’s one of the fundamentals of the game when your pre-made or teammate gets caught in a fight. Facing a dire situation, it's certain that your teammate will not be able to ping but, if you were to follow up the fight, it can result in your favor. Map awareness means to foresee the movement of your enemies on the map which can allow you to save yourself. If you cannot do this, you wil൩l either miss out an opportunity to keep time on important events such as team fights or perhaps even getting ganked by the enemܫy team.

28 Be A “One Trick Pony” 🔥

Have a small champion pool from which you alter your role in-game. If you are to stream and watch a pro streamer, they will always play with certain heroes and more specifically the ones that they are comfortable with. League of Legends has around 140 champions at the moment and it could get difficult for you to master them all. So, choose a champion🎉 through which you feel you can deliver, as it will help you climb the ladder faster. By learning a particular hero, it can help you prioritize over counter picks, t🦂heir builds, and mechanics. It can also help you be a better player as you will know all the little tricks to the hero you are consistently playing with.

27 Watch Pro Pla🤡yers’ Streams

Watching the live stream of a pro player is one of the ways to get really good at League of Legends. Some of them are very educational and diverse when it comes to teaching. They tell you how to ward, farm, which champion is easy to overcome and the mechanics of the champion they main as well. It helps a lot since you might want to try out the same routine in your game and sometimes things won’t occur the way you want but once you get a grip on your timings of what needs to be done, it helps you improve overall as a player. At the very least, the outcome is you will be able to view the game, 🅺what the pro players do and copy the same technique.

26 👍 Wꦡard Your Map

Warding also comes in as one of the fundamentals of the game. What if the enemy team is doing the objective at the time? Surely you have the timer access but how would you know that they aren’t just there to pull out a team fight and then to just secure the objective? Having map awareness is a key but you cannot see what’s happening♔ in the fog of war. 🐼At the start of the game, you always have two wards so utilize them to secure your laning phase as well as to help your team. Most of the time when the enemy team is trying to land an objective and your team has placed a ward you can easily outplay them.

25 🔜 Read Guides

Sometimes the game itself isn’t helpful on champion𓃲s and runes or maps itself. At times like these, one should start to look for a guide. For example sites such as Mobalytics, the summoner school subreddit and 🌠Lolking are highly preferred. These sites help you read about the framework of the game on what to do and how are things usually done in the game. Most of the time there are champions which are complex in regards to their kits/spells so the best strategy is to try reading about their abilities and how their mechanics work, learn the counter picks or who you are strong against using the current champion or what lane is best for them so you can increase your skill-cap higher.

24 𒆙 💟 Follow The Official Tournaments

Riot Games hosts a set of tournaments every year and every tournament brings in a new Meta which pro players participate in live by applying the best of their skills. These tournaments can be streamed on Twitch as well as YouTube where many pro players from all over the world are matched up against each other with their main role and they show how or when one should initiate a team fight, what lane would be optimum for your champion or counter picking can also be learned here as well. Always follow them directly on Twitter to know the live updates on who is winning or the plays that are🐟 ꦬbeing made.

23 ꦚ Do Not Tilt

Tilting is the most awful thing that could ever happen to a player. It’s when your teammate intentionally helps the enemy team or when you get upset over the gameplay. How to fix this? Simple pro tip is when you lose three games in a row, quit the game and take a break. Your mental health is more important than the loss of a match. League of Legends is a fun game but it sure can attract some trolls and people 🌞who want to ruin other people's game. It can even happen in ranked games and for this reason alone, they have introduced a system where you can mute the enemy player if he is to verbally abuse or simple harass you which actually leads you to win your game with a level-headed m♈indset.

22 ꧑ Timers Exists In The Game — Track Them Or Lose ⛄

Timers exist for a major reason in the game with one of them being to secure every objective in the game. It can set the difference between a good and a bad player. Every pro player focuses on objectives (macro) rather than micro gameplay. The pro teams don’t focus on the fights unless they need to secure the objectives; it’s what makes you win the game and it is best if y𓂃ou stick to a guide or at least press TAB to view when the drake or baron nashor will be spawning (in game-minions). Be attentive and as soon as the objectives are up, stay close to your teammate to secure𓃲 if you think you can.

21 🍬 🌱 Never Surrender

A surrender is always an option. Sometimඣes it’s best to play out till the end so that you can learn a lot about the gameplay or your performance in particular. Sometimes a good team fight or a securing an objective can turn the game in your favor, the more the game prolongs, as long as you are playing it with a cool headed-mindset and helping your team, you could always win the match. The more you play the more your focus increases and so does the attention span and once you are in the heat of the moment, you will always give it your best shot.
